Community Pool

The place for advice, feedback, and friendly blogging chatter.

Have you just published a new post and are dying for some feedback? Did you recently start your blog and could use some layout or design advice from your more seasoned peers?

Tap into the wisdom of The Daily Post blogging community and leave your question here in the comments. Others can then click through and offer input either on your site, or in the comments here (feel free to indicate which you’d prefer).

To help us make the Community Pool a productive space for discussion, here are some tips you might find useful:

TIP: To keep from losing your place in the comment thread while you visit others’ blogs, right-click on a link to open it in a new tab or window.

  • While you’re not required to, we encourage everyone who requests feedback to also reply to at least one or two other bloggers who need some help. Spread the love!
  • The Community Pool comments section can get quite big — and starting duplicate threads doesn’t help. Thanks for not posting the same question more than once!
  • If you’re looking for quality feedback, be as specific as you can. Questions about a particular post tend to draw more comments than ones about entire blogs. Questions about specific design elements are more likely to be answered than ones asking for general layout advice.
  • We discourage leaving links without a more substantive message or question. These are often overlooked by other bloggers, and we frequently remove them to make the comment reading experience smoother.
  • Please keep all comments civil and constructive. The idea is to have fun — it’s a pool, after all!
  • If you haven’t looked at our Commenting Guidelines in a while, now might be a good time.
  • No running on the deck.

      1. Thanks! I appreciate the likes and the follow. I’m glad you think it’s fun, sometimes I wonder if the content gets a bit too heavy for the lighthearted title.

  13. Hello everyone,
    I am in need of some advice for my blog. I have quite a bit to post right now, but after thinking about the name of my blog (it’s really generic) I thought I should really change it.
    The problem is I’m not sure what name would really give it the diversity that I would want to write about.

    Basically, what I’ll be doing with my blog is writing about a little of everything such as things that I learn as I go through life, opinions on certain controversial events, creative stories, informative articles, etc.
    I thought about creating two different blogs to try to separate my topics and themes, but I attempted that and realized how hard it would be as of right now to run two blogs efficiently without making myself go crazy.

    If you could offer any advice I would more than appreciate it.

    Thank you!
